Yes, Nick. I think if we choose there’s a loads of things online to get involved with. Just be careful not to double book yourself!

Yes, many people around here are doing a daily walk now, and polite zig-zagging to maintain social distancing is now the order of the day! I have also watched two livestreamed concerts from people’s homes and last night took part in an online pub quiz via Skype (which involved learning some new tech skills as well). In a strange way my social life has actually become a lot busier!

But it all pales into insignificance when you contemplate the big dread that hangs over us all…and the magnificent NHS which we hope will save us.

I agree with your last sentiment, Juliet. Any relationship that was already a bit rocky will definitely be tested by current circumstances.

I’m loving the rainbows and smiling sun pictures in people’s windows and the way strangers are waving to one another as they zigzag across the road to avoid getting too close. I’m loving, too, that I’m not clockwatching and can eat, sleep, read and – if I must! – work when I feel like it. Business as usual, you say? For the most part, yes. The people I feel sorry for are those who are trapped with family they’ve just realised they can’t stand!.
